Had to give this to Head ICE. Also the fact that Knamelis voted for Cortez confirms that he lost...

I agree 100% with everything DBD said. Head edged the first, got destroyed in the second, and won the 3rd clearly. Tez' third was so out-of-nowhere and weird it made me laugh, but not in a good way. Since when has Tez been all about da culture?!?

This battle did just enough to keep me listening, but nowhere near enough to be really entertaining. This needed a really rowdy crowd to be half-way entertaining. This would have been way better on a league like GW.

Cortez robbed Ice of his manhood in round 3. That's type of shit that will make a black man reconsider life.

"In Harlem, niggas hear "Head Ice" and be like "we passed the phase"
The wolf, he don't get the same love on his ave today (wolf love)
So what he did? He got mad, complained
Moved out the hood, copped a passport, catch a plane
All for what?
To go and jump inside the master's chain
That's a shame" (KOTD chain/slave shackles)

That nigga Tez didn't just call Ice a slave, but a happy slave.

"Whatever happened to Malcolm, Martin, you know all the boycotts, the mass of slaves
Even Colin Kaepernick took a knee, that's how you stand for fame
You are the face of this league
And all you do is rap about dope and black 9s
Ice, when you gonna give us something dope bout black lives
See you know what rhymes with that?
Django, past prime, and token black guy"

Cortez completely obliterates Ice's character. Deconstructs his image as one that contributes to the death and incarceration of young black Americans all over the country instead of using his platform to promote something positive for his people.

"Now Organik, he tried to finess ya'll though, I'm gonna keep it a buckMan what are they gonna say please
I'm the only black face KOTD got, straight cheese
I'm gonna go to UDubb, get this Shotgun Suge deposit, and rep for they league
and Organik was like (slave whip noise), uh uh boy, "You can't read?"

D.O.A. KOTD has Ice under a slave contract that prevents him from performing where he wants. What makes this really bad is that KOTD is owned by a skinny white Canadian kid that dresses and acts like Jamie Kennedy from Malibu's Most Wanted while Ice fronts like an O.G. from the block in Queens. I feel bad for Ice. He sold out to someone that would never get any respect in the hood.

This part of his round was genuinely fire. The best part was that you could see it was really pissing ICE off too. Cortez may have had the best angle used against ICE in a long time... and he threw the other half of the round away.

Both Rone and Tez only lost to ICE because of their bad battle tactics.

It sounded good but it didn't mean shit. Tez has always rapped about the exact same things he was shitting on ICE for. It's like Diz getting in Roc's face and saying I've never been one to hate on someone for their color or race, when that's ALL HE HAS EVER DONE. It makes everything he's about to say meaningless. Tez has never spit a round about raising his own race's profile, so how the fuck can he accuse someone else of not doing it? Garbage.

ICE was boring as fuck as usual (not my demographic by a long shot) and completely unconvincing - as was Tez save for the third. So Tez got robbed. But robbed of like a stick of gum.
What a shit show the chain is.

stiick a knife ya flesh and have it BREAK IN BAD like u was supplyin me meth!!

lmao horrendous

You are trippin, This was way better than Diz vs Arcane, Rone vs Illmac, and Charron vs Pat, and probably others.

Except Pat's first round, definitely Charron vs Pat was utter garbage. Diz vs Cane isn't as terrible as you probably remember, the drama of Diz's first and Cane's multi-spazzing actually make that an OK battle.

However, all of those are nowhere near the terribleness of Sketch vs Rich and Rich vs PH (Contender for worst battle ever).
